They say there’s one born every minute.
And this one is out $7 million dollars, after buying what he, for whatever reason, thought was an actual dinosaur — but what instead turned out to be a desert lizard — off a random Saudi Arabian student.
24/7 Emirates brings us the hilarious details:
A US court has issued an international warrant against a Saudi student who allegedly sold a desert lizard to an American man for $7 million as an extinct dinosaur species from Arabia, a Saudi daily reported on Thursday.
The court sent the arrest order to Interpol and Saudi Arabia’s embassy in the United States, Sharq Arabic language daily said.
“The court said in its order that the Saudi student who is studying in the US has sold a desert lizard as an extinct dinosaur species from the Arabian Peninsula to an American man for $7 million,” it said without giving further details.
Can we say buyer’s remorse?
And, because we just couldn’t help it — while reading this article a “theme song” came to mind. Hope you enjoy being transported back to 1988 with Was (Not Was) and “Walk the Dinosaur:”

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 5:51amYou were probably insanely busy at the time, like with little babies are something. I missed pretty much anything in the top 20 from 2000 to 2005 that way … opting to listen to baby/kid music in the car instead. They overplayed this song at the time. I didn’t care for it then, and I don’t care for it now. It sounds like it would be the theme to some campy comedy movie. Maybe it was … I don’t remember.

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 1:01amBetcha anything the buyer was Obama. No one but an elected official could have both necessary traits to make such a purchase. Those traits being 1) Stupid enough to believe this was a dinosaur and 2) Have access to that much money. What do I think? I think it’s your tax dollars at work, and Barry has a new pet.

Well “realindependent”, it has been proven conclusively that home-schooled children are a LOT more educated, smarter and better thinkers than especially progressive commie taught students. Since they are apparently a lot smarter and better thinkers than you are, how does that speak for yourself. Once again someone that proves that it is better to keep your mouth shut and let people think that you are a fool than to open your mouth and prove that they are right. You have proven it very well.

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 4:40amWhat I find amazing is how someone so stupid could even amass that much money or if it was a trust fund how someone wasn‘t supervising his funds since he clearly doesn’t have the faculties to be in charge of any amount over 20 bucks.
